When Puppies Fall From the Sky
This puppy might be a week old; it's not eight weeks old for sure.
Didn't these reporters even bother to double check the probability that the age of puppy may be a little younger? After all, from what I see, this little guy seems unable to walk and at 6 weeks most people have weaned their puppies off the milk.
There's a good bet this pup is only a week old. It does not appear to have open eyes. No doubt some well-meaning idiot in the legal department decided that puppy had to be legal age for sale even if the puppy was dropped by a hawk or eagle. Yes, this is how some lawyers think.
Let's hope they get some excellent advice about trying to raise that little one, because the way they handle it seems rough to me. Additionally, allowing him to wallow in the dirt is potentially exposing him to infectious agents. Everyone involved is looking like a dumbass on this one
